Slate, those are rare, but I too saw a loaded up Ram Megacab with 15xx at the local auto show this past January. I think most Ram 4WD crew/Mega are in the 1800-2200 pound range, and Ford/GM about 200 pounds higher. That's why I recommend the 1-ton when it comes to diesel HD and RVing.
Not sure where these payload ratings come from. Don't even know the payload/axle ratings on my 07, but I can tell you 1800-2000 lbs, unless it's half on the tailgate, doesn't do much but level it out an inch or 2.
Resale for some reason is crazy on diesels. Prolly due to the massive sticker prices of the new ones.the truck in my sig, with 130k mi on it still sells private party for mid-high $20s. Not bad for a truck I gave $30k for 1120kmi ago!
